Sustainable Energy Society of Southern Africa (SESSA) is dedicated to the promotion, use and development of renewable energy and energy efficiency. This includes all solar technologies such as photovoltaics, thermal heating and cooling, concentrated solar power as well as wind, biomass and hydro, to name a few. Other focal points include energy efficiency both through behavioural change and technology intervention as well as passive building design and green transport.

The inter-disciplinary nature of SESSA attracts the membership of industry, scientists, researchers, developers and the general public – the only requirment is a keen interest in renewable energy and energy efficiency and its utilisation to ensure a sustainable energy future.

SESSA
is one of 50 National Sections of the
International Solar Energy Society (ISES).

ISES is regarded as the
premier body in solar energy with members in over 100 countries. SESSA
is the duly appointed African office of ISES.

SESSA is a founding member of SAREC (South African Renewable Energy Council). The main objective of SAREC is to promote the renewable energy sector in
South Africa by acting as an umbrella body to the industry associations
representing specific renewable energy technologies.
